Directional Ejection of DNA Base Droplets

Caption

Each reservoir contains a different base or 'letter' in the DNA alphabet. When activated, an acoustic membrane located underneath the membrane aims a tiny droplet of the desired letter to a point above the center of the array, to the surface of a slide (not shown) successive activations build up a DNA sample on the slide.
